Preview image of top site selected or enable through fox tab, doesnt shows up? Instead of preivew image of particular site its showing up blank?

I have assigned all top sites in the fox tab. It was working fine for two days. Later now it doesn't shows up the thumbnail image of each site. When i click the icon its redirecting to the particular site assigned to it. But i don't see the thumbnail image on it?

Do any one have an answer or solution for this? i have attached the screen shot of it. I have assigned nearly 7 to 8 top site but none of them shows up.

Preview webpages in TOP SITES not loading

Preview webpages on TOP SITES not loading. Visible is momentary blink loaded pages. I have Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 8. Please help me solve the problem.

As shown in the picture:

Top Sites: Some Site Previews Not Showing

When I add some sites to the top sites page there is not preview of that site displayed. How do I fix this issue? Thanx

Try quitting Safari, then go to Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Web Page Previews and delete everything in that folder.
Then restart Safari, wait about 5 minutes to be sure it's reloaded the previews for your Top Sites and check to see if they're all there. Post back with results.

Safari 7.0 top sites remain blank

Dear Safari specialists,
after upgrading my MacBook Pro 13" 2,53 GHz C2D (2009, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD) from Lion 10.7.5 directly to Mavericks, the following problem arose with Safari: The browser no longer displays preview pictures for my top sites.
All I can see are black rectangles with a dark grey safari icon in the center of every top site preview:
Steps I took to isolate the problem:
1) Pressing CMD+R in the top sites view. This caused the top sites' captions to change to the corresponding websites' current titles. So it seams reloading the top sites works, it just doesn't create preview pictures.
2) The result made me suspect a permissions problem when writing new preview pictures to the disk. So I checked permissions on the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/ folder and the "Webpage Previews" folder within. They're read&write for my (admin-level) user. I even changed them to read&write for everyone - but to no avail. I also ran "repair permissions" in the hard disk utility.
3) I reset Safari using Safari's reset-window in the browser's menu. Everything was checkboxed, still no change. I also tried restarting the system after a reset and before reopening the browser.
4) I closed Safari and removed the following folders and files:
~/Library/Safari/*
~/Library/Caches/Metadata/*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/*
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.WebKit.PluginProcess/*
~/Library/Coockies/*
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.*
~/Library/PubSub/*
~/Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.apple.Safari.savedState/*
Then I opened Safari again to force the browser to recreate each and every file with correct contents and permissions. Nonetheless, I was greeted with the top sites page containing the same black rectangles instead of website preview pictures. Reloading didn't help, the result was the same as described in 1). So I put the old files back in their former places.
5) I created a new user account, switched to that one, opened Safari there and tried reloading. Interestingly, the top site previews filled up the formerly black spaces. So in this new user account everything works as expected. Transfering the "Webpage Previews" folder contents to my regular user account even causes the corresponding preview pictures to appear in my regular safari - except the ones that weren't included in the other user account's Safari top sites selection, of course. This doesn't solve the problem, though, because once again the copied previews cannot be updated in my regular safari account. Pressing CMD+R doesn't change them back to the black rectangle state but simply leaves them untouched even though the website visible contents has changed in the meantime.
6) Going to the console app revealed that during my attempts to reload the preview pictures (see 1) ), the following entries are created in system.log (excerpt):

I'm not sure what these entries mean. My first idea was that there may be a network problem connecting to my top sites. This wouldn't explain, though, why they all load properly when opened directly in safari by entering their URL or when clicking on them in the top sites view. It also wouldn't quite explain why everything works fine in the second user account (see 5) ). The second thought was that maybe Little Snitch caused some disturbance in my network traffic that blocked Safari from fetching preview pictures (even though Little Snitch also runs in the second user account). But even when turning off all network filtering, the problem persists.
Now I've run out of ideas. One hypothesis left is that there's a database file hidden somewhere that needs to be updated in order to allow Safari to create a link to preview pictures which are only then created in the Library folder's subfolders. That database file may be corrupted, who knows. Besides the fact that I don't even know if such a database file exists, I have no clue where it coult be found.
So - any thoughts on this one? Any option I may have missed out on trying?
Best,
Nick

I found what may be the solution or at least a big step forward. Deactivating the preview picture function and turning it back on again made Safari finally create snapshots for my top sites and fill up the formerly empty rectangles. It worked like this:
1) Close Safari.
2) In the terminal application enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy -int 2
3) Open Safari, then close it again.
4) In the terminal application enter:
defaults delete com.apple.Safari DebugSnapshotsUpdatePolicy
5) Open Safari again.
It's still not working exactly like in Safari 5, though. Preview pictures in top sites only seem to get updated when I click on them to visit the corresponding websites. It doesn't seem to happen in the background. So it doesn't present me with a little star icon to notify me of any unread new contents in the top sites view.
I'll have to dig in deeper to figure out if this is the intended behaviour for Safari 7.0 or if there's still something wrong. Any thoughts on this?

All of my top sites thumbnails in Safari are blank

My thumbnails on the top sites in Safari are blank, but the links works perfectly.
I've followed the suggestion in this thread without any result: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18343208#18343208
Resetting the cache has neither helped. I don't know what to do.
I'm using:
OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Safari 6.0.2
Please see the picture.

Hi This is a bit late for an answer but I've just taken possession of a new MBP and was browsing the forums as I have a few issues too. On this topic my thumbnails werre all blank to start with but as I have used the sites they have slowly returmed until now they are fine. My issue is with Preview. I used to be able to combine PDFs after scanning but now? I'll need to post this question elsewhere methinks.
Hope things work out for you
Regards
Malcolm

My top sites are blank

I used to have a list of top sites on my Safari Yosemite. A friend, somehow, deleted this top sites and they are not appearing anymore. It's ok for me to reload one by one, but the problem is that they are not being saved anymore... my top sites page is completely blank.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Safari/TopSites.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Safari Top Sites thumbnail images not updating automatically?

is it happening just with me, or the automatic update of the Top Sites thumbnail images is not working anymore?

It is intentional. When on the Top Sites view, hit Command+R to refresh the images. Supposedly this was done because the previews don't do a good enough job of detecting weird login pages and wifi password pages.
Personally, I'd like it to have an option to go back to updating the images on its own again.

Safari 7.0.4 Top Sites previews remain blank

I've been having this issue for a couple of weeks now, the websites previews don't load. To be more specific, Safari tries to load one and I see it for half a second, but then it goes back to blank. Then Safari tries to load the next one, again I see it briefly, but it doesn't stick around. And so on, in order from the 1st to the last preview. As if it tried but didn't succeed in loading them, never happened before, cannot recall if I did something weird but I would say no. I updated my Flash to the 14 version yesterday, and only yesterday the previews worked fine, back to normal, after updating Flash. Today it's back to blank! So I don't know if it's got something to do with Flash at this point? If it can help, this is my current Flash version as shown in the System Preferences Flash pane:
It is driving me nuts, the fact that it tries to load and I see these previews flashes very briefly is very disturbing, would be better if they were blank all the time. I hope it can be solved. Thank you!
edit:
I have already tried a couple Terminal commands found on here, for the same problem reported by someone else, didn't work. Disk is ok, permissions are ok, everything appears to be ok. Tried resetting Safari, deleting all Top Sites, putting them back, didn't work. Obviously shutting everything down didn't work either. Only thing that worked (shortly) was updating Flash. Really dunno...

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

How do I remove top site preview from Bookmarks Bar

Last night received message from Safari asking whether or not to update Safari settings, which, in a pinch, unfortunately I did. I now have a top site preview in my Bookmarks Bar and I do not want it there. I have tried everything to get it out, including the most obvious: unchecking "show top sites" in Safari preferences, restarting Safari and computer. Also, going to Utilities, Terminal and pasting in script for command found searching on subject. Nothing works. Does anyone know how to get this top site window out of my Bookmarks Bar? I have spent a great deal of time on this and am quite frustrated as a result. Thank you.

Hi
so if you click/hold just above the 'address' text - or anywhere in that dark bluey-grey band above the column headings... you should be able to drag that upwards so that the site preview area disappears leaving only the dark search bar.
Maybe it's not that - I didn't mention it right away because that 'setting' is common to every bookmarks view/collection, rather than " The top site preview appears ONLY when I select "Show all bookmarks," and THEN select the Bookmarks Bar "
If not that, do remove the safari plist file - keep it safe & you can easily replace it with safari quit if there's no change. Safari will create a new, default version when it next starts.

Unable to refresh top site previews in Safari 8

Just started using Safari 8.0 on OS 10 Yosemite as Chrome is not stable. Trying to get Top Sites page working well but cannot get preview images to refresh. All my top sites reflect login pages i.e. Facebook login page. Searching for answer turns up doing PAGE REFRESH as a solution to his issue. However there is no refresh button on the Top Sites page (as no site is loaded) - using Command - R also does nothing.

Hi!
Is this (Re: Top site doesn't work. Safari 8.0) the same problem? If it is, try what I mentioned there. I hope it helps.

Top Site previews are blank or black. Why?

I have reset Safari and emptied the cache. My top sites were then pages Safari already had loaded. I have my own top sites saved, but they are blank black screens. It has never done this. Please help! Thanks for your responses.

If you selected, "Reset TopSites" from the Safari > Reset window, that automatically deletes all the previews.
You may need to re add the sites back in again > How to manage Safari's Top Sites
If you have problems adding sites to TopSites, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Safari
Click Go
Move the TopSites.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash.
See if that made a difference...

Event names sitting over the preview image...

I have been putting all my photos into iPhoto 8 on my new i-mac.
It is all working fine but the event names are now appearing over the top of the preview image for that event, rather than underneath.
Does anyone know why this might be happening and what I can do to sort it out?
cheers
Jason

Jason
Have you been turning on or off any Fonts?
Use Font Book to ensure that the
Helvetica
Helvetica Neue
fonts are enabled. Then restart your Machine.
If that fails:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Safari 'Show Top Sites' Image Glitch

Whenever I click on 'Show Top Sites' in Safari, after having numerous images open in Preview,
and after quitting Preview, I see a momentary glimpse of all the images that were previoulsy open
in Preview populate the thumbnails in Top Sites.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Safari 6.0 (24 Thumbnails in Top Sites)
Preview 5.5.2

Safari 8
There is no option available in the preferences settings to remove TopSites from the Favorites bar.
Best.

Safari Top Sites Loaded **** Image

I was shocked this morning when I opened a new tab and got a full screen pornographic image lasting less than a second prior to top sites being loaded. I was unable to re-create this occurrence. I use this laptop for work and family purposes, it is a clean machine. I leave my MB on over night with safari opened. I have ClamX AV Sentry running as well. Has anyone experienced this today, ever? I reported this as a bug to apple. Is it possible that top sites got hacked?
Thank you,

Hi Dr. Data
I don't use topsites... but the images are stored in Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Webpage Previews/
The rogue image may not be in there, since regardless of source, topsites doesn't ordinarily display any one item full screen, so far as I know.... but it's a start.

My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,
Clinton
